Monday 30th June 2014

Just one for today.

3.45 Southwell Midaz 2pts each-way AND 2pts win @ 10/1 (Ladbrokes, guaranteed, 9/1 generally guaranteed)

Trainer Hughie Morrison maintains a 26% strike rate in claiming races, and given how well he does at Southwell his representative Midaz looks to be of interest at a price in the seven furlong event this afternoon. The selection showed a little bit of promise here on his second career start, but his two runs here in April suggest he handles the surface very well. There was no disgrace in being beaten by Mishrif, who goes very well at Southwell, or indeed Pretty Bubbles who has improved and won again since. He might not have seen out a mile on either occasion and the drop back to seven makes him interesting here. The booking of Charlie Bennett to lighten his load from 9-12 to 9-7 looks clever enough, and although he would be better off with a few of these in a handicap, he remains open to improvement and not all of the opposition look certain to give their running on this surface.
